It's also allowed me some extra time to make home holiday goodies for friends and family. In fact, when one of my regular customers called last minute just knowing I couldn't make Christmas cupcakes for her I was able to surprise her by saying "I can make them no problem!" She left the design totally up to me, which is always nice. I decided I wanted to make some rounded ornament cakes, because I love the look of the rounded fondant toppers on cupcakes, but as usual, I didn't want to use fondant.
So I started playing with mounding buttercream and smoothing it out and honestly, it went easier and quicker than I expected. I did make the ornament stems from fondant, but those can be picked off easily enough.
When I finished I was so happy that I took a couple of the extras into the house for a mini photo shoot in front of our Christmas tree. I just love the look of the Christmas lights all blurred out in the background.
Have a great week; I hope Santa is packing up something nice for each and every one of you!
